Islamic History is very lengthy as is Indo-Pak. For an average reader IH&C will take at least 50 days just to cover this syllabus for once. And there are only 4 months left in the exam.

US history can be covered within a month. Considering time remaining in the exams i would suggest you either US or British. US if you want to go easy and British if you decide to opt for a subject less chosen by candidates.

IH&C will also be one of the least favorite subject but it is a bit lengthy.

Just one another point that US and IR are overlapping and will help you in this insufficient time. British History can be slightly helpful in Political science.

Time is the key here!

But brother i dont know the ABC of US history so isn't better to go for that subject which you know better than US history ?

Why did you replace Punjabi with Muslims Law?

Often aspirants fall prey to this logic and end up scoring low

I think you should replace Muslim Law with criminology and re-think about international relations

sir if i go with my last same subjects, Sociology (100 marks) from group 7, IH&C now (100 marks) from group 4, Public Add (100) from group 3. I have to change three subjects at least. and most seniors recommend IR its a scoring subject. and if history subjects are low scoring therefore Muslim Law and Gender studies.

Muslim law and Criminology are in same group so you can replace ML with Criminology. Almost everyone is opting for IR this year which implies that it's going to be a low scoring subject.

alright! if IR is also low scoring.Then Public Add (100-M, G-3) IPH OR IH&C (100-M, G 4) Gender Studies (100-M, G-5) ML&J OR Criminology (100-M, G6) Sociology (100-M, G-7) still remain a subject of 100

Please consider Accounting G1/ Physics G2 / Statistics G2 only if you have background in these subjects

Or you can replace IR with political science G1. Political science might not be high scoring but I think it would be better than IR
